Spiral Medicine Spirit Vessel
Spiral petroglyphs (carvings) and pictographs (drawings) can be found in remnants of virtually every ancient civilization throughout the world. Although we canât travel back in time to ask those ancient peoples what the spiral held for them, in the present day there are two (of many) widely accepted interpretations of the implied meaning of this symbol.
First, as a path spiraling outward, it represents growth and expansion. In the reverse, the spiral represents a journey inward, from outer consciousness toward inner spirit (God, Higher Consciousness, Universal Spirit, Source).
Mother Nature must surely have been the inspiration behind the spiralâs prevalence in our ancestorsâ lives. Spirals are everywhere in nature⦠ferns and flowers unfurling, snail shells, sea shells, our own DNA, whirlpools, tornadoes, galaxies, embryos, animal horns⦠itâs a nearly endless and awe inspiring list. Is it any wonder this symbol has held special meaning throughout time and history?
The âSpiral Medicineâ Spirit Vessel is meant to hold that which is sacred to you. Fill it with personally meaningful gifts from Mother Nature⦠feathers, acorns, pebbles, shells⦠or use it to hold those small keepsakes that are near and dear to your heart.
**Each vessel is handmade from wool roving (the loosely combed & dyed or natural fibers of sheepâs wool) through the art of wet felting. Although the colors are depicted as closely as possible to the actual item, please be aware that colors may appear differently on your computer screen.**
